N2 - ABSTRACT A simple parable is introduced that serves as an analogy to the private/public self‐focus distinction The analogy elucidates that the reliability of the effects observed by the private/public research direction is not the focus of the Wicklund and Gollwitzer critique Rather, the critique questions the validity of the explanations offered More importantly, the analogy implies the conclusion that construing social dependency as an issue of self‐focus does injustice to both the social dependency and self‐focus concepts
